Whitman and Dickinson scholarship this year is highlighted by significant editorial achievements and by new approaches in linguistics. The divergence between historically oriented work that draws on cultural studies and print culture and scholarship focused on formal aesthetics, poetics, and philosophical investigation continues. Stephanie M. Blalock contributes the Whitman section of this chapter and Stephanie Farrar the Dickinson section.
惠特曼和狄金森奖学金今年的亮点是重大的编辑成就和语言学的新方法。借鉴文化研究和印刷文化的以历史为导向的工作与注重形式美学、诗学和哲学研究的学术之间的分歧仍在继续。Stephanie M. Blalock贡献了本章的Whitman部分,Stephanie Farrar贡献了Dickinson部分。

Todd H. Richardson
A wealth of scholarship attests to a rich year for Transcendentalist studies in 2015. Consideration of global and transnational contexts is particularly fruitful in Ricardo Miguel-Alfonso and David LaRocca’s edited collection, A Power to Translate the World: New Essays on Emerson and International Culture. The trend in contextualizing Thoreau and others in science studies has a remarkable boost in Richard B. Primack’s Walden Warming: Climate Change Comes to Thoreau’s Woods. Engagement with social and political thought remains strong as well with a special issue of Nineteenth-Century Prose dedicated to Fuller and several strong essays on Theodore Parker.
丰富的奖学金证明2015年是超验主义研究的丰年。Ricardo Miguel Alfonso和David LaRocca编辑的文集《翻译世界的力量:爱默生与国际文化新论》对全球和跨国背景的思考尤其富有成效。在理查德·B·普里马克的《瓦尔登湖变暖:气候变化来到梭罗的森林》中,将梭罗和其他人置于科学研究背景中的趋势得到了显著的推动。对社会和政治思想的参与仍然很强烈,《十九世纪散文》特刊专门介绍富勒,还有几篇关于西奥多·帕克的有力文章。

This has been an active year in William Faulkner scholarship, with four major book-length collections of articles, two issues of the Faulkner Journal, several Faulkner-focused sections of other major journals, and a variety of other bookand article-length treatments. A significant majority of these consider Faulkner alongside a specific contextual category— Faulkner and his geographies, Faulkner and the funeral industry, and Faulkner and the media, to name just a few. Two particular pairings stand out, both for the frequency with which they appear and for their continued prominence over the past few years. The first is Faulkner and film. This year’s contributions add an expanded emphasis on the wider “media ecology,” adding new depth to Faulkner’s relationship to the changing media landscape. The second is Faulkner and the global South. By considering Faulkner and geography more widely, several of this year’s contributions allow readers to consider the global South in wider and more complex terms.

Scott Slawinski
The wide swath of approaches to early American studies in 2015 testifies to the vitality of the field, and organizing the materials for this chapter proved challenging. A common denominator for much of this year’s criticism, however, is review and revision—fresh readings, fresh connections, and fresh observations abound. Genre, political engagement, national figures, conservationism, identity, boundaries, literary tradition, and rhetoric, among others, all assume prominence in one or more studies and appear in new light. Despite this significant engagement with revision, there is also a sense of the familiar: many of the figures and works under scrutiny are well known and often read. Studies of lesser-known figures and lesser-read works in all genres clearly stepped into the background this year, and a renewal of rediscovery of unread texts and authors is needed.

This year’s scholarship on Herman Melville is an intriguing mix of old and new. While some scholars continue to examine Melville’s deepdiving engagement with world literature, religion, and philosophy, others apply the latest critical trends in affect theory, cognitive studies, temporal studies, queer theory, and geographical studies to his major and minor works. Highlights include a new edition of documentary sources that adds to the biographical resources for study of Melville’s life and career, a monograph that examines his interest in religion throughout his career, and a comparative study of Melville, Jonathan Edwards, and Edgar Allan Poe that examines the metaphysical implications of terror in their work. Interest in Melville’s poetry also continues to be strong, with a special issue on Melville and the Civil War.
